00:00I hate AI.
00:04From everything that I have been told, AI is going to hurt my industry.
00:08How could I possibly tell a story about why AI was good for us when all I could see from
00:14where I'm standing was bad?
00:18So I wrote my dad.
00:21Little Anish, who was that again?
00:33Little Anish grew up in San Jose, California.
00:36His parents didn't have a lot of money, but they did have a camera.
00:43And all he would do with it was make movies.
00:50This is a movie I made when I was 10.
00:52It's super cringe now, but I remember when I made it.
00:55I wanted it to be set in Manhattan.
01:02Okay, not quite Manhattan, but for 10-year-old me, dude, that's kind of incredible.
01:27This next scene was from a movie I made called Hostage about an army vet played by me who
01:31breaks into this high-security vault, whatever, it's dumb, but it was supposed to be set
01:36in a bank.
01:41And this scene with my little brother in the mask was supposed to be an alien, but all
01:45we had was an old Halloween costume.
01:55The thing I like about this tool is that little Anish would have still had to make the movie.
02:00Is the camera recording?
02:02He'd still have had to write a story, plan the shots, get the cameras, force his brother
02:08to act take after take after take.
02:15I hate AI.
02:22But with a tool like this, I don't know, maybe I would have just dreamed a little bigger.
